Desert Bus for Hope Charity Videogame Marathon Starts Tonight

[TheRightToArmBears]

So, somehow they did manage squeeze it past 132K. That´s just...yeah, exactly!

Huge internet connection fail prevented me from watching the closing ceremonies, but still, these past five days have been pure enjoyment. Thank you LRR, thank you Escapist!

And congrats, Root.

You missed The Final Countdown (literally)! I will definitely be supporting these guys next year!

Also, I'm pretty proud of my Octopimp image on the site!

Ah, woe is me. I hate it when experiences like this don´t get a proper closure.

Anyway, it´ll be kinda hard to top this year´s show, but we will be there next year to support it all the way.

By the way, which image was yours?

That was yours? Cool. I really liked it when I first saw it. Well done.

Also: All hail Octopimp!

 

[FalloutJack]

Octopimp is awesome! (And apparently loaded.)

Also, what was their actual last stop?

 

[BehattedWanderer]

So 132k, but what was there point total? Like 15 by the end?

I believe it was 14...Quite a long ride.

I believe it was 14...Quite a long ride.

What happened was that during the 14 point stretch, Morgan started singing "Don't Stop Me Now", and Bill, enjoying the song, let the bus slide into the ditch.

They restarted immediately and pulled back 3 points by the end, but the 14 still stands as the record. As well as the 2100 people watching the final countdown.

Hmm... has anyone gotten their Desert bus badges yet?

I think I picked the wrong city, but I contest that it's all Bill's fault.

As far as I know, the bus stopped going between Las Vegas and Tuscon.

Yah, I get that, but I was referring to the contest, man.

I believe that Tuscon would win in that situation, but we'll have to wait until the mostly American staff gets back to find out. (I picked Vegas btw)

 

[Diablini]

I feel sorry for these people. How can they bear that game?

They have good company, snacks, change shifts every couple of hours and sing songs every now and then. It sounds fun actually.

Did you know that Paul had a full beard about one year ago? Yeah, he shaved it off for quite a bit of a donation.

Fixed. Paul had the full beard. Paul now has no beard. This is why he's Paul, you ain't 'cause you not. This is why, this is why, this is why he's Paul.

Graham's facial hair changes periodically, as far as I've seen.

Ah, thank you. A tiny slip there. In any way, the event was fantastic, last year and this year.
